June 8, 2014 by Leanne Vogel November 2, 2018

Defy age and neutralize free radicals with this dairy-free milk recipe made with soaked almonds, soft medjool dates and loads of antioxidant-rich turmeric.

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds, soaked for 12-24 hours
• 4 cups water
• 4 pitted medjool dates or 2 tablespoons of xylitol or 2-5 drops of alcohol-free stevia
• 1 tablespoon raw organic honey, optional
• 1 teaspoon organic turmeric
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• a nut milk bag

Instructions

1. To soak almonds, add to a clean mason jar and cover with water. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours. Strain and rinse almonds before using in this recipe.
2. Add almonds and 4 cups of water to the jug of your high-powered blender. Blend on high for 1 minute.
3. Strain with a nut milk bag by pouring the mixture through the bag into a clean bowl.
4. Clean out the jug and transfer the almond milk back to the jug. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
5. Transfer to a clean mason jar, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

• Honey – can assist in the healing of infections, reduce the allergy response, heal wounds, and much more. But, if you are vegan, feel free to omit completely.
• Medjool dates – are loaded with B vitamins (great for your skin + hair)
• Turmeric – the more you use, the better. Once you’ve made 1 batch and enjoyed it, see if you can increase to another teaspoon, and another, and another, to find your sweet spot. I like this milk with 2 teaspoons of turmeric but it may be a bit too much for people.
